When I had this same situation with my pregnant cavalier refusing to eat twice- through her pregnancy . When she got large towards the end I did two things. One of them was the nutrition in a tube-she was always willing to take her nutristat :For some reason once she took her nutristat it got her apetite kick started and I could get her food in little amounts into her.
I gave Nutristat as it has: Cornsyrup- soybean oil- malt syrup- Cod liver oil -Cane molasses -methylcellulose- Water- gelatin Tocopheryl acetate-Vit E- Sodium Benzoate-(preservative) Manganese sulfate- iron peptonate- thiamine HCL- Niacinamide- Calcium pantothenate(source of calcium and pantothenate acid) Magnesium sulfate- Pyridoxine HCL- Vit A Palmitate & Vit D3 Supplement- Potasium Iodide( source of Iodine and potassium) Riboflavin 5' Phosphae sodium( source of Vit B2 and Phosophorous) Folic acid and Cyancobalamin( Vit B12) I purchased mine at JB Wholesale catalog but I think some of the local feed stores here in Ventura Ca carry it as well. The other item I used with my vets dosage ratio per puppy and pregnancy weight and delivery date pending was electrolytes mixed in her water . Good luck -and do get consult with your vet before using any remedys.
